Please join us for the launch of the Susie Konkel Pass, which gives everyone age 21 and under free admission to the PMA! Be among the first to receive a Susie Konkel Pass, and join us in thanking Susie for this remarkable gift to our community.

The PMA is free from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and open to all for the launch on Wednesday, April 11. Visitors 21 and under, as well as those with kids or grandchildren in their lives, are encouraged to sign up for their very own Susie Konkel Pass on the spot.

The PMA is growing. As the museum evolves into a truly 21st-century institution, we want to hear from as many voices as we can—and no voices are more important to us than those who actually grew up in the 21st century. If you are between the ages of 14 and 18, we'd like to hear from you. It doesn't matter if you enjoy art, music, skateboarding, sports, or video games. It doesn't even matter what your grades are like. If you grew up on Nickelodeon, we want to know what you think.
